Is it in any way shape or form by the rules mandated you must build a character from the top down?
I.E. You must first choose your metatype Then you must choose your attributes Then you must choose your skills Then you must chooseyour knowledge/language skills Then you must choose your qualities And then and only then can you choose your resources? I have been told this is true to the point that even the people in charge have been quoted as saying this is true. |
